Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) represents one of the most important metabolic subclinical disordersof high producing dairy cows, having serious impact in both animal health and herd profitability. The aim ofthis study was to confirm the presence of SARA in Greek dairy herds and record its prevalence and riskfactors. Ruminal fluid samples, via rumenocentesis, were obtained from a total of 153 Holstein dairy cows,from 12 herds (≥12 cows per herd). Rumen pH was measured on-site with a portable pH-meter in order toestablish a SARA diagnosis. Almost sixteen percent (24/153) of the sampled cows were found with rumenpH ≤5.5, which is indicative of SARA. Thirty three percent (4/12) of the herds were SARA-positive, 8.33%(1/12) of the herds were SARA-marginal, and 58.33% (7/12) were SARA-negative. Number of lactating cowgroups, order in which the feeds were added into the mixing wagon, particle length size, ration composition,housing type (free stall or bedded pack) and stocking density significantly influenced the presence of SARA.

Genetic and non-genetic correlations of the average somatic cell score (SCS) at different stages oflactation (100, 150, 200, 305 and 365 days in milk) with lactation performance were estimated based on thefirst lactation records of Iranian Holstein calving during 2000 to 2009. (Co) variance components wereestimated using derivative-free REML based on multiple traits animal models. The estimated geneticcorrelations between average of first 100 days in milk SCS (SCS100) and milk100, fat100, milk305, fat305 and protein305 were 0.14, 0.19, 0.11, 0.15 and 0.17, respectively. The corresponding environmental correlations were -0.13, -0.03, -0.18, -0.10 and -0.13, respectively. The estimated genetic correlations of the average SCS during the first 150 days in milk (SCS150) with milk100, fat100, milk305, fat305 and protein305 were 0.14, 0.19, 0.11, 0.15 and 0.17, respectively. The corresponding environmental correlations were -0.13, -0.03, -0.18, -0.10 and -0.13, respectively. The estimated genetic correlations of the average SCS during 305 days in milk with milk, fat and protein yield, and fat and protein percentages were 0.12, 0.11, 0.18, -0.05 and -0.08, respectively. The estimated genetic correlation between SCS100 or SCS150 with average SCS over longer stages of lactations (SCS305 and SCS365) was 0.99 ± 0.01. These results indicate that recording SCS data over shorter period of lactation is an alternative approach to reduce the costs of SCS data collection and therefore to expand the SCS recording in the country by increasing both the number of herds and cows involved.

Avian Pasteurella multocida is an agent of fowl cholera. The protective effect achieved through orthodoxvaccines is not ideal. The research on novel vaccines against avian Pasteurella multocida is imperative. Inthis study, the genes encoding outer membrane protein H and A (OmpH and OmpA) were cloned into theeukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) and the recombinant plasmids, namely DNA vaccines (pOMPH andpOMPA) were obtained. Five groups of chickens (n=20 per group) were intramuscularly injected with thetwo recombinant plasmids, attenuated live vaccine, control vector pcDNA3.1(+) and PBS, respectively. Theimmune responses and protective efficacy were evaluated after immunization by serological and challenging.A significant increase in serum antibody levels was observed in chickens vaccinated with the attenuated livevaccine and the two DNA vaccines. Additionally, the lymphocyte proliferation (SI values) were higher inchickens immunized with the attenuated live vaccine and the two DNA vaccines than in those vaccinatedwith pcDNA3.1(+) and PBS (P<0.05). Furthermore, the two DNA vaccines provided partial protection to thevaccinated chickens; however, the protective efficacy was inferior to that provided by the attenuated livevaccine.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of Chlamydia trachomatisgenotypes in Shiraz, Iran. Two hundred twelve cervical swab samples were collected from women attendingShahid Motahari Polyclinic in Shiraz, Iran. The endocervical specimens were screened for C. trachomatis byplasmid PCR. Genotyping was performed in C. trachomatis-positive samples by nested PCR amplificationand sequencing of 571 fragment encompassing VD1 and VD2 of omp1 gene. The overall prevalence rate ofC. trachomatis in endocervical specimens determined by plasmid nested PCR was 8%. The deduced serovarsfound, in descending order of prevalence, were F (46.6%), E (33.3%), and D (13.3%), and serovar G wasfound in a single sample. Sequence mutation analysis by BLAST search against GenBank referencesequences identified 4 genetic variants. This study can be considered a contribution to increasing knowledgeon C. trachomatis genotype distribution and sequence variations within each genotype in Shiraz. Furtherstudies are needed to better define molecular epidemiology of C. trachomatis serovars and to investigate itsgenotype variations in Iran.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), a highly contagious and devastating disease in young chicken, is causedby infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). To improve the immunogenicity of recombinant IBDV subunitvaccine, an attempt was made to find a new way to prepare IBD vaccine containing glycosylated mVP2antigen. Firstly, IBDV mVP2 gene (with a nucleic acid sequence encoding B cell epitope of IBDV(KFDQML) in the 5′-end of the VP2, with a nucleic acid sequence encoding B cell epitope of IBDV (LASP)and (His) 6-tag in the 3′-end of the VP2) was cloned. Secondly, IBDV mVP2 protein was expressed in themethylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris which can secret glycosylated protein. The recombinant mVP2 proteincould be stained pink with periodic acid-schiff reagents (PAS), which showed that mVP2 was glycosylated.Finally, IBDV mVP2 protein was purified with His-Trap (1 mL) affinity chromatography. These resultsindicate that glycosylated IBDV VP2 protein modified with epitope peptides can be expressed in Pichiapastoris, which lay the groundwork for the development of a recombinant infectious bursal disease vaccinewith high immunogenicity.

Zataria multiflora essential oil possesses immunomodulatory effects and the present study investigatesits effect on immune responses to live Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines and faecal shedding period ofvaccine strain virus in chickens. One hundred and eighty chickens from both sexes were divided into 6 equalgroups: group 1: unvaccinated, group 2: vaccinated (B1 vaccine followed by La Sota 10 days later), group 3:vaccinated + levamisole (150 mg/kg/day, orally), groups 4, 5 and 6 were vaccinated and received Z.multiflora essential oil by SC injections at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg/day dosages, respectively. Levamisole and Z. multiflora essential oil were administered for 10 and 5 consecutive days post B1 vaccination. On days 0, 7, 14, 28 and 35 post booster vaccination (PBV), HI test was performed. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH)test was accomplished on day 14 PBV. Faecal virus shedding was determined during 15 days PBV with 3day intervals by RT-PCR method. Zataria multiflora essential oil induced a dose-dependent increase inantibody titers in an extent higher than levamisole as well as a dose-dependent suppression of DTH reaction. Effect of Z. multiflora essential oil at the dosage of 0.1 g/kg on shortening of faecal virus shedding period was exactly the same as levamisole where higher doses demonstrated stronger decrease. In conclusion, Z. multiflora essential oil stimulates humoral immune responses and shortens faecal virus shedding period while suppressing cell-mediated immune responses in chickens vaccinated with live ND vaccines.

The prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin sensitiveStaphylococcus aureus (MSSA) carriage among poultry and poultry farmers in Malaysia is largely unknown.In the current investigation, chickens and chicken farmers from 30 chicken farms were screened for MRSAand S. aureus carriage. The genetic characteristics of the isolates were determined through multi locussequence typing (MLST), Staphylococcus protein A (spa) typing and virulent gene profiling. The outcome ofthe study showed lack of MRSA and extremely low S. aureus prevalence (n=7 of 503, 1.4%) among chickenflocks and the poultry farmers in Malaysia. Staphylococcus aureus isolates belonged to 4 sequence types(ST): ST97 (spa type t359), ST1179 (t359), ST 692 (t2247) and ST188 (t189). It can be concluded thatMRSA/MSSA prevalence is very low among chicken and chicken farmers, human and chicken crosstransmission of S. aureus does not seem to be a threat in Malaysia.

Rosa damascena has been traditionally used as an herbal medicine for different therapeutic purposes. Inorder to preliminarily study the probable toxic effects of the plant, its infusion was orally administered to 5groups of 5 dogs at doses 0.5-8 times that of human use in traditional medicine (90-1440 mg/kg/d) for 10successive days. The dogs in the control group (n=4) received placebo. Serum levels of urea, creatinine,alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), bilirubin, albumin and protein were measuredin all experimental groups at days 0, 1, 3, 7 and 10. Except for a transient increase in bilirubin levels (day 3) and a rise in serum ALT at day 10, both with the highest dose of the treatment, there were no statisticaldifferences between different experimental groups compared to the control. The results suggest minimalnephrotoxic or hepatotoxic effects for the infusion of R. damascena, however, the medication may behepatotoxic at extraordinary high doses.

This study was conducted to reveal the estrogenic effects of bisphenol A and o, p’-DDT on quailembryos. Thirteen fertilized eggs were used as control (injected with 20 μl corn oil), 15 eggs were injectedwith estradiol 17β (0.04 mg dissolved in 20 μl corn oil), 20 eggs were injected with BPA (2 mg dissolved in20 μl corn oil) and 20 eggs were injected with o, p’-DDT (2 mg dissolved in 20 μl corn oil) at day 13 ofincubation. Two days later the livers of the embryos were collected. The DNA was extracted from the liverfor molecular sexing, while total RNA was extracted for vitellogenin II (VTGII) mRNA expression inembryos. In female embryos, BPA and o, p’-DDT induced variable levels of VTGII mRNA expression,while in male embryos, o, p’-DDT induced a slightly VTGII mRNA expression. In contrast, there was noexpression of VTGII after BPA injection. In conclusion, the estrogenicity of BPA was lower than o, p’-DDTand both of them were lower than the estradiol 17β.

The aim of the study was to describe the urinary electrophoretic pattern of dogs with heartworm disease.Urine samples from 15 heartworm-infected and 15 healthy dogs were taken. Urinary specific gravity, urinaryprotein concentration and the urine protein/creatinine (U P/C) ratio were determined. Urine proteins werefractionated using SDS-PAGE. Results showed statistically significant differences for the U P/C ratio(P<0.05) but not for USG and urinary protein concentrations (P>0.05) between groups. Urinary protein SDSPAGE analysis showed eight distinct bands in the urine of heartworm-infected dogs. The presence of proteins exclusively found in the urine of infected dogs suggests renal damage, even in cases of light proteinuria, indicating that SDS-PAGE is a sensitive method for the identification and characterisation of renalproteinuria in dogs with heartworm disease.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of tail-docking on the LH pulse frequency in femaleTuj lambs. Twelve female lambs were assigned into two equal groups. A rubber ring was applied to the baseof the tail for shedding off. Blood samples were collected for 8 h in the 4th and 8th months of age todetermine pulsatile secretion of LH. Starting from the age of 6 months, blood samples were taken thriceweekly for progesterone analyses. There was no LH pulse in the first LH analysis but the pulses wereobserved in both groups in the second LH analysis. However, number of pulses was not different betweengroups. The plasma progesterone level was less than 1 ng/ml throughout the breeding season. In conclusion, there was no effect of the tail-docking on pulsatility of LH in fat-tailed female lambs.

Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy cattleresulting in lowered fertility, embryo mortality and abortion, repeated returns to service, reduced pregnancyrates and extended calving intervals. While the occurrence of repeat breeding syndrome and abortions arereported from many Iranian dairy cattle farms, little information is available regarding the presence of bovinegenital campylobacteriosis in Iran. The present report describes detection of Campylobacter fetus subsp.venerealis infection in two out of eight repeat breeder Holstein Friesian cows (Bos Taurus) using a PCRmethod in a herd with a history of subfertility in Mashhad, in the northeast of Iran.

Pedunculated, ulcerative, firm 6.0 × 4.0 × 5.5 cm tumor masseffaced the bone at the rostral part of the mandible and had a white-sanguineous color at cross sectionappearance. Histopathologically, small round blue cell tumor was diagnosed. Immunohistochemically, tumorcells were positive for vimentin, S100 and Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and negative for neuronspecific enolase (NSE) and desmin. Mandibular location is a rare event in these types of tumors.
